We have two factory installed speakers in the cockpit of our SO37. On one side the only thing keeping water in the cockpit from filling the hull via the full depth port locker is the cone in the speaker. The original cone disintegrated under UV light exposure and the plastic cover was damaged by the feet of the crew.
I would like a strong cover for the speaker preferably stainless steel and a means of ensuring the locker is kept water tight.
Any good ideas?
David

Webcrew,
Saw that and while solving the speaker face problem does not address the water into the locker if the speaker cone disintergrates. If no better ideas are forthcoming I may mould a couple of watertight recesses into the locker sides.
Regards
David

Hi David,
My so30i has the same issue port side where the speaker is effectively in the locker, and the same problem you are addressing. Stbd side speaker is in aft cabin, and was factory fitted with a waterproof cover so that it looks quite neat. I can not see how it is held I place but your proposal to mould water proof covers looks to be on the right track. You have me thinking about my locker side risk as well now you have pointed it out.
Regards

My 2010 36i has plastic buckets bolted behind the speakers for water intrusion protection. They look "off the shelf" from the speaker company. They are the same diameter as the speaker with the same bolt hole pattern. Photos this weekend.

Shiook,
That sounds perfect. Do you have a brand name?
